Hi peeps,
Just a quick question that may sound silly to some.
I doing the bathroom out, have so far:
Taken back to brick.
Dot and Dabbed Soundboard to most walls (had it spare so used instead of plasterboard)
Where the shower will be I have used Hardibacker 500 so it will be waterproof.
I need to do the pipework next, but my question is can I skim the boards and hardibacker before tiling?
The reason why I want to do this was to seal the boards so they are more moisture resistant, I just dont know if I can skim the Hardibacker - Obviously if this is not suitable then I wont bother skimming any of the walls as there would be a mis match in depth then.
Im using 20x 30 tiles so the plaster should take the weight from what I've.
I thought this would just give the room a bit more resistance to the wet - What do you experts reckon??
Thanks in advance.
